What is Anode Heart?
This top-down, pixel-art RPG takes place on Stack Island, where digital creatures called Tama are appearing in the physical world. Explore a semi-open island, tame and battle with Tama, and play a card-battle minigame as an amnesiac robot searches for its identity and tries to prevent a looming calamity.
